One of the best cooks, Dean Dobbins. I spent a week at his house and ate like a king who had the best chefs.

Farris,
I try to grill or smoke some kinda meat every Saturday. I usually cook enough to munch on through Sunday night. I love to cook and much better at it than playing the steel or so my family of 5 thinks. Never had enough left overs yet to make a sandwich on Monday. I claim a great breakfast and lunch menu as well. Learnt from my Momma how to make "Cathead " bisquits and "SweetPotatoe" cornbread from scratch. The wife and I (together) put up pickles, preserves, pepper sauce and vegetables every year.

Speaking of all the things ya'll have eaten reminds me of my younger days in Alabama. When I was a tot, the whole family traveled and sang and my daddy preached. We never had the money to eat proper like some did. Many times we cooked and eat anywhere we could pull off the road between Florida to Ohio to Louisana. I have watched many times as he prepared squirrels, gophers, possums, quail, chitlins, hoghead cheese, pigsfeet, and other stuff that I didn't even know what they were. I have churned many a turn of cheese, wrung chicken necks, milked goats, wrestled a pig or a turkey to the ground, strung a hog or a deer to a tree branch and also went hungary many nights to bed.

I remember one evening about dust we hit a deer while driving down a dirt road in south Alabama. We all got out and prayed a thanksgiving to the Lord for sending it our way. Before we got through praying, the thing got up and run off.

Thank God for my blessings. Lord willing, I plan on buying my meat from Publix from now on.

Savell

I can cook man!... better than my wife![shh]... Look at my last name!... We[Italians] can all cook! Just an hour or two ago I served my wife and two of my boys Chicken Parmigiana,meatballs and a side of spaghetti. I am very good at times,REALLY bad at others. Real consistency lacks,but I have some good stuff in my recipe catalog.

Farris Currie · Post by **Farris Currie** » 3 Dec 2004 6:59 am

BOB,i like a man who likes to live on the edge.I take it that wife doesn't read the forum,huh.You gotta watch it thou,women love men that knows how to cook.Why they will let you do it all! I just had some fresh Vension came in,trying to figure how to cook it the best.i love it fryed,but seems to always be tough.wondering about browning it good,then load it in the crock pot and let it slow cook.It's hard to chew when you don't have good choppers.mabe i'll try some like that,and throw in some potatoes.i'll tell wife it's beef,see how it goes. Jennings wish i could send you some,you'd know what to do with it.huh. WOW, can't wait. farris

Farris, she's french, she NEVER did hotdogs,
except when she was an aupair in Calfornia.

Jennings... unfortunately not everyone has access to possum broth. I have done a possum stew in NH. though.

The ex, She had only one recipe I ever used, liver and onions fried in olive oil, finished with rasberry vinegar. But once she did it once I ended up doing it.

I love a good pheasent,
done with an fuji apple and cognac flambé reduction sauce,
and parsnip purée done with browned, almost burnt garlic, bouquet garnie, salt n pepper
a hint of herbs de provence, and moistened with the juice from cooking some shalots (before putting them in the stuffing).

I do a pretty good Duck a l'Orange too,
or with a thick pear/ white wine sauce.

I can do that Balinese spicy orange, sweet thick soy sauce for duck or any bird.
I had an Indonesian aunt who 1st taught me some advanced cooking back when.

If you mix chinese hoisin sauce with porto and simmer a bit with shalots till they turn translucid,
it makes a great baste for any game bird.
A bit lighter than a peking duck, but similar.

I know I am in france,
when on a friday night and I have cleaned out the shelves and never made it to the store,
ALL I can only find for dinner is :
escargo ( snails in garlic/parsely butter )
and frogs legs...
and I put the frogs in a Marseiles bouliabase soup...
Just ate the snails direct from the micorwave...

I once in Conn. I was cooking frogs legs on an hibachi in barbique sauce,
when a 19 year old Barbie doll fanatic girl came in to the yard .
She saw the legs roasting away and had a coniption fit.
I nearly cooked myself laughing so hard.

I could REALLY go for 17 hour smoked pulled pook sandwhich right now !

Next time on Oahu, try the BBQ chops at 'You Hungry?'. You won't go home.

Archie Nicol · Post by **Archie Nicol** » 4 Dec 2004 4:10 pm

This will probably be lost in translation, but I find venison is too dear* and I can't afford it.
Aberdeen Angus ribeye steak with a brandy and peppercorn sauce is our favourite.
p.s.
No haggis quotes, please.
*dear; adj. costly.
